Episode #056.
Inside this episode of 5 Minute face Talk I share a newish technique for attaching facial hair pieces, wigs, and all lace from hairpieces and guess what? No Spirit Gum involved!
Yeah - this relatively new technique that seems to finally be making its way to the mainstream within pro makeup and hair circles is truly a gamechanger, so learn how it works, how to modify your own formulation to mattify to your heart's content and also, if you're lucky (or unlucky) you'll hear a few cameos from my dog Floyd. (thanks Floyd - I know you're passionate about facial hair pieces in makeup!)

One ever-present, but sometimes, not often acknowledged aspect that has always remained constant in the career of a makeup artist, is the importance of thorough research and the use of reference materials.
In one of my earliest experiences in makeup school, I was fortunate to engage with seasoned professionals who shared their insights and emphasized the significance of researching historical time periods for period projects in movies and TV shows. This experience left an such a big mark on me and solidified my belief in the transformative power of research in the world of makeup artistry.
So I wanted to share a little moment of me raving on about how and why research and reference material is undeniably important, and how it can make you a far stronger and well-rounded makeup artist.

Powder makeup is very much keeping up with the times, and the latest hydrating, refining powder makeups to hit the market, may well be just what you're looking for.
